My husband and I were skeptical about hiring a doula for many reasons (are they really helpful, financial, would they push their own agenda, etc.) but after our initial meeting with Heather, all of our concerns melted away. At our prenatal appointments, Heather gave us extremely valuable information and exercises to ease our minds and my body before labor. We were going in for an induction and she had us call the night before so we could go over everything we may expect the following day. As simple as that sounds, heading into the induction we felt extremely confident that no matter what we were faced with we had the information to make the best decisions for our family. That was just the tip of the iceberg. Heather’s presence at our baby’s birth is the main reason we recommend hiring her as a doula. She knows how to lighten the mood with her humor but can switch to serious when needed. She doesn’t have a problem with speaking up so we have all the necessary information while also encouraging us to ask questions. Our baby ended up staying in the NICU a few days and Heather came back to the hospital to check in with us, go over our birth experience and was a welcomed distraction from our current situation. My husband and I both felt completely supported by Heather at every stage of our labor and delivery.
